WSM Architekten: Next to the renovated main building of the Tabalugahaus (former

youth hostel Jägersbrunn), which was financed by the Thomas-Haffa-Foundation + Peter
Maffay Foundation in 2010, was an old, dilapidated summer house.  Already parallel to the
renovation, long before the building owner knew what was to happen to it, we proposed
to create a bold and modern replacement building in wood to complement the tranquil
main house.

Two of five proposed variants were detailed as photorealistic visualizations, of which the
variant of the wooden shingle cube with a huge panoramic window was now executed.
The new building consists essentially of a large community room with a sensational view
of the nature reserve. Here groups of children can paint, do handicrafts, make music and
give free rein to their imagination - but also yoga, movement therapy or other supervised
forms of therapy are possible.
